Abstract
We report long-slit spectroscopic observations of the Herbig Ae/Be star Elias 1 in the 3.2-3.6 mum region covering the C-H stretch emission features of hydrogen-terminated diamonds and PAHs. The data were recorded at UKIRT using UIST and yield information on the profiles and intensities of the bands as a function of offset along the N-S and E-W axes centred on the close binary. The diamond and nearby IR continuum emission arises from a symmetrical inner core region (< 0.34 arcsec or 48 AU). The 3.3 mum PAH emission is extended along the E-W axis up to ~ 100 AU each side of the star. This result supports a suggestion of Haas, Leinert & Richichi (1997) of an E-W oriented bipolar nebula in Elias 1.
